possibly the best guitar i have ever played 10/10.
Advantages: A great guitar with amazing pickups, a great neck and a wicked look! Disadvantages: No single coil in the middle to broaden the possible sounds available.
...same specification for the guitar ESP made for Kirk Hammet, lead guitarist from Metals most famous band... Metallica. As a summary the guitar has a super low action which means the strings are closer to the fret-board this is perfect for the lead guitarist / shredder, a pair of high-output EMG-81's, and an original (and the best) Floyd Rose Double Locking Tremolo system.
So to delve deeper I'll start with the pickups, EMG-81's are the pickup choice ... ...do it, then just give ESP a ring and im sure they will sort you out (I havn't had to do this, as my guitar has worked perfectly since I bought it over 4 years ago.)
If you play metal or anything with alot of distortion then your good to go, if you require a very clear clean tone then you might want to consider a different guitar, or a change of pickups. ...
